The notation New Style or (NS), indicates a date in the Revised Julian calendar (which is used by churches on the "New Calendar"). - The only evidence for the life of Saint Crescentiana is a church in Rome dedicated to her that was already extant at the time of Pope Symmachus (498-514) (Benedictines).[14]
- St Barlaam and his holy icon are venerated in Ukraine by those afflicted with the inclination to drinking; their friends and relatives also invoke his intercession on their behalf.[18]
